My wife and I were talking about this today and we thought it's possible that what has just happened in Nepal is at least in some sense the most democratic thing any country has ever done.
If the format is to be sustainable, they will need to find or found a different platform.
How is one faction holding an internal vote to impose rule on the rest of the people, who have no representation, anything at all like a democracy?
It was Discord that changed the government, it was the looting and burning down of government building by well funded and organized mobs.
They do not believe that people can act on their own, everything is a conspiracy to them. Because why you would rebel against their utopia?
Not worth arguing with them. Cast them to the dustbin of history where they belong.

The person they picked is 73 year old Sushila Karki, who used to be a Cheif justice of the Supreme Court until she retired at age 65, and is the only woman to have ever held that position. She is also now the first and only female to run the country. The protests that overthrew the Nepali government this past week were started to protest corruption in government, and Karki is known for being fiercely against corruption as a judge. She was sworn in on Friday. Good luck to her. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c179qne0zw0o
